In January, 2011, Kyle Henning began his human-powered, solo expedition from the lowest point on the African continent to the highest. Starting at the shore of Lake Assal, Djibouti (155m below sea level), he bicycled 2,980km through four countries to the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania and trekked to the summit of Uhuru Peak (5,892m above sea level) on March 26, 2011.

The Low2High: Africa Short Film

I know I've been talking about it for months, but I swear a documentary film about Low2High: Africa is in the works. The footage is a mess, as I am not a filmmaker, so I've given quite the challenge to friends in the industry. "Here's a bunch of random footage with bad audio. Make a movie!"

In the meantime, I've put together a short-and-sweet video of footage from Low2High: Africa. Here's the youtube link.... Low2High: Africa short film

I don't know what the song is, but I really like it. It was on a bootleg CD that I bought in Ethiopia for 10 Birr! Spread word about the video. I'm trying to get sponsorship for another expedition and a large number of views on youtube will help a lot.
